What a fun time! I can't believe how fun it is to watch our little one reach and go through each milestone. He had been standing unsupported for a week or two and Autin's parents just happened to be in town so they got to witness the first steps. Everyone was in the room so I said "ready?" which was the trigger word that Trevor had learned would mean I was going to let go of him and let him stand alone, so I let go and Austin, who was sitting on the opposite side of the room, said "walk to daddy", so Trevor took four steps before falling down. He received a huge standing ovation, which made him feel pretty cool, so after that he tried and tried again, able to go further and further. He started out walking with hands straight up in the air for balance, and now he's starting to walk everywhere. I'm so thrilled and excited, it's so dang fun. Who knew having kids could be such good entertainment? lol.

Trevor turned 1 on April 6, 2013!!!! I will never stop talking about how fast time goes, it's insane!!! Austin and I just want him to stay little forever, haha, but at the same time it is so fun to watch him go through the different stages and hit milestones. At his 1 year doctor appointment he weighed 17.5 pounds (4%) and measured 28 inches long (4%). Trevor can walk all over the place holding on to finger tips, furniture or a push toy. He is getting braver and braver but hasn't taken his first steps on his own just yet. He can say momma, dada, and hi as well as plenty of jibberish, lol. Trevor is quick to smile, is very attached to his parents and definitely understands the meaning of "no". He is a total boy and loves throwing all different types of bouncy balls as well as every other toy he can get his hands on. He sleeps through the night most of the time, but regresses sometimes and wakes up once a night at times. He still has big, beautiful blue eyes, fair skin and super blonde hair. I still think he looks just like Austin, but some people tell me he looks like me (I think to try to make me feel good, lol).</div>

For Trevor's first birthday party we had a Pirate themed party. All of the Lemke family came as well as a few of our good friends and their kiddos. Trevor had no problem digging in to his cupcake when the time came and he devoured the whole thing in no time!! Here are a few pictures...our good friend Cassie made him his birthday hat, isn't it so stinkin' cute!!!</div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">When I was younger, I was the girl who was never going to
conform. I wanted to be and would be a career woman. An education and a career
were at the forefront of my mind and having a family would just work itself in
there somewhere. I was the girl who wanted to work when I had kids…no need to
lose my identity right? I set high goals with career, money and lifestyle in
mind. I wanted to accomplish something and feel that boost when I told people
what I did for a living. I was that girl. I would not conform. I would never be
“just a mom”. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">NOW, all I want is to conform. I want nothing more than to
be a stay at home mom. I never knew how much I wanted it until I almost couldn’t
have it. Having a child has been and will always be, no matter what, my biggest
accomplishment. If I can raise a good, polite, hard-working child, then there
is nothing in this world, or that this world has to offer, that can out-do
that. I want to downsize, I want to simplify, I want nothing more than to say I’m
“just a mom”. We are working hard to make that happen. It may take some time,
but I know that it will happen. I NEVER thought I would feel this way, but
then, I had never had a child before. Life has been good to me, and I’ve always
said that it just keeps getting better. Now that I have a child, it is truer
than ever. I have an all consuming, unconditional love and joy in my life.
Sometimes I think I might burst at the seams I have so much love. I’m so
grateful for the opportunity and blessing of being a mother. I can’t even
express in words how grateful I am to have gotten this opportunity. </span></div>

We love him so much and have had so much fun watching him grow and learn. At 10 months old Trevor enjoys playing with anything (hangers, empty water bottles, neclaces, etc) except his actual toys. He crawls everywhere and is super fast!! He loves to pull up on furniture and cruise along it. He is definitely a boy and loves to bang his toys together or on the floor, window and well...just about any hard surface. He has learned to walk holding on to a toy stroller and thinks he is the coolest kid around when he's walking. He enjoys getting into things he shouldn't be into and trying to play with chords while looking right at us and gets mad when we tell him no! At his 9 month doctor visit he weighed in at 16.5 pounds and measured 27.5 inches landing him in the 8th percentile!! He's our little shorty and we couldn't be prouder parents :).<br />
He is sleeping through the night (most nights) pretty well, which is great for mom and dad!! The poor thing is going through major separation anxiety these days, which is a little hard, but sometimes cute. He gets mad when he thinks we are going to leave him with someone, but sometimes he'll be playing and stop to look around to see where we are. Then he'll crawl over to give us hugs and go back to playing. It's rare that he'll fall asleep in our arms anymore, so when it does happen, we cherish the moment. Austin and I are trying to enjoy each moment and each stage of his life as much as possible and couldn't be happier to be parents of this little guy. (I'll post pictures as soon as I figure out how to. Blogger won't let me post them these days.)DLUXhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04643576415429640628noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569656494711737294.post-23887626299487733472013-01-08T06:51:00.000-08:002013-02-19T12:29:30.623-08:00Christmas 2012You know, people always tell you that the holidays are better when you have kids. I used to think to myself, well, they can't be any worse that's for sure. Okay, let me explain that last statement. As I've grown older, for some reason the holidays have become times to endure through instead of enjoy. I don't know how I got to that point, but I truly couldn't wait for Christmas to get over with so I could stop going bankrupt and start saving money again. I really would just look around and think what a shame it is that everyone is willing to knock you down to get that last toy, or that people feel obligated to literally go into debt to make sure that everyone gets a present. That is so not what Christmas is about and it always, without fail, left a bad taste in my mouth. I, for the last several years, have been happy to leave the holidays behind and get back to life. How sad. <br />
Well, I think I can say that this Christmas was the best Christmas ever!!! It's true, when you have a child, everything changes and the holidays are no exception...and I didn't even go bankrupt! We had the good fortune of having Austin's mom, brother and 9 year old niece join us for Christmas this year, which made it even more fun and special. But, nothing compares to the joy on Christmas morning of watching our little Trevor open presents and be so excited to get new toys. He's far too young to understand who Santa Claus is, or even the true meaning of Christmas for that matter, but watching his face light up when we allowed him to rip open presents will make me smile until we get to do it again next year. It truly transported me back to the excitement of my own childhood when I could hardly sleep from all the excitement and would sneak to get my stocking at 5 a.m. It made me remember to lighten up and not take life so seriously. Sometimes we just have to go with the flow and let the true spirit of Christmas happen naturally. <br />

I am still in la la land and loving [almost] every minute of it :). I say almost, because I am willing to concede that there are hard days and hard times, but man, I just love being a mom and I am loving my little family and I am REALLY loving the fact that, yeah, maybe we are boring, but there is nothing else I'd rather be doing then hanging out with my little guy and my man. He's grown so much, it's unbelievable. I swear, he gets bigger every day. At 6 months old he weighs in at 14.6 pounds and measures 25.5 inches long. <br />
Here's some of my favorite pictures:<br />

I'm so forgetful these days and wish that I would do this more often. Last night, Trevor (who has been sleeping 8 to 10 hours a night) woke up at 2:00 a.m. I heard the cries on the baby monitor and I started to stir a little when all of a sudden Austin (who is usually dead to the world once he goes to bed) jumped up and exclaimed that he would get the baby and feed him. With barely enough time to register what was happening, I put my head back down and went back to sleep. This afternoon we met for lunch, which we do every day because I can't go a whole 8 hours without seeing Trevor. While we were eating Austin told me that before he went to bed last night he read an article about a 1 month old baby that was shaken to death. My eyes got a little misty, as they often do when I hear these kinds of stories, and I told Austin how sad that made me. He told me that when he heard Trevor crying he wanted to be the one to feed and comfort him because the story had made him so sad and he loves him so much. I thought that was so sweet and completely understood the sentiment. Little Trevor gets hugged and kissed a million times a day and it is never enough. We love him so much!!! Austin told me he wants 3 more just like him. It really puts things in perspective when you read stories like that. We have so much love to give and want to give it to more children. I really hope we get blessed with more. I am so grateful to have such a loving and attentive man be the father of my child. I'm so lucky and I know I need to keep these little gestures in mind when I get mad over stupid things. It's this kind of love and security that really matters.

There are so many moments I wish I would have written down, but here are some that stand out in my mind...<br />
My little guy has gotten so big but I still hold him in my arms as much as I can. At 3 months old he weighs in at approximately 10.5 lbs and is close to 22 inches long! He is growing so fast and it seems he changes daily. That little stinker didn't start sleeping through the night (6 hours) until he was 10 weeks old, but that's ok. I only get up once a night most of the time now, but it's amazing how tired I can still be because of it...probably because I am a light sleeper these days. He smiles and coos all the time now and I love putting him on his blanket to play with him. He still hates being on his stomach and has almost rolled from stomach to back because he gets so mad, lol. We blessed him in our home at 3 weeks old. It was magical. The spirit in our home that day was strong and I cried through the whole blessing. He does this thing in his sleep where he'll smile really big and then chuckle silently to himself. His whole body shakes with this silent laughter. I love it, it's like a private little joke that only he knows about. We went through a few weeks where he would get fussy for a few hours a night, but other than that he is a really happy baby. I still can't express how happy I am in words, I'm sure all you moms out there know just what I'm talking about. I got to experience my first mother's day!!! Actually, it was the day of my first major melt down. I was so exhausted from getting up every 3 hours that it all came crashing down on me. Good thing Austin is patient and sweet. He made me breakfast and bought me flowers, two shirts and some new work-out pants. It ended up being a great day and we went to my parents house for dinner to polish it all off. Trevor got his first round of shots at his 2 month appointment and ended up getting really sick afterward. I think I've decided to wait until he is a bit older to continue with immunizations. It's hard to believe, but I am back to work full-time. I thought for sure Trevor wouldn't be able to go a day without me, but he did just fine and I came home to a happy, healthy baby. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be for me either. I didn't even cry, but that's probably due, in part, to the fact that Austin was home taking care of him while I was at work. I just don't think I could drop him off somewhere just yet. Austin and I take pictures of Trevor almost on a daily basis and crack up at how cute he is when he's smiling, laughing, cooing and even when he's being ornery. Trevor has decided he hates being in his carseat, and even screams for a while until he's lulled to sleep by the movement and sound of the car. I bought a baby bjorn for walks and to get things done around the house when he doesn't want to be put down. BEST INVENTION EVER!!! We took Trevor on his first road trip to Tahoe at 2 weeks old. He did great and slept most of the time. I haven't shed the last of my baby weight yet, I definitely don't want to get in a swimsuit any time soon, but I realize how much more important it is to take care of the needs of my baby right now. I love him so much and love having a little family. I feel so blessed and never realized how important the job of being a mother is. I am so glad that I get to have this experience.<br />

Yes, there are definitely hard moments. But even the night time feedings can be such a good experience...it's just Trevor and I and I wouldn't trade that for the world. Just now I was looking at him and I just had to write down the overwhelming sense of love and joy that I feel almost non-stop. I swore that I would never be one of those people that made it seem like having a baby was all rainbows and butterfly's...but IT IS!!! And I am going to enjoy this as long as it lasts, because I know there are tough times ahead. I love this little tiny newborn stage. I love holding him. I love looking at him. I love feeling like I'm going to cry because I love him so much. I love when he smiles. I love when he toots. I love when he's crying and crying and then stops the second he starts to eat. It's like a contest to see how fast I can make his bottle, LOL! I love that Austin and I give him everything he needs. I love to watch him sleep. I love when he's wide awake looking up at me. I LOVE IT ALL! Today Austin told me he could have 3 more if they could all be just like him. It was so cute because he used to say..."one and done". Neither one of us can get enough of him. I want to pause and make this last forever.DLUXhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04643576415429640628noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569656494711737294.post-12372154290625771322012-05-02T19:09:00.002-07:002012-05-02T19:09:54.871-07:00Before and After<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The first 3 weeks have been amazing! He is such a good little baby and Austin and I cannot get enough of him. He is so sweet and I know we are spoiling him because we rarely put him down. I now know what people mean when they say newborns are hard work. The first week was a breeze, but then the fatigue and the sleep deprivation really set in. We had a couple of sleepless nights in the second week, which made it really hard, but other than that, he's been a really good sleeper. There is nothing in my entire life that I have ever done that has been as significant as this. I feel the most tender love for him and I can't imagine missing one minute of his life. Austin and I will literally just sit and stare at him, in between kissing him that is. At his 2 week appointment he weighed 4 lbs and 15 oz!!! That's up from 4 lbs and 8 oz at his 4 day old appointment. Now at 3 1/2 weeks, I can tell he's gained even more weight and I can't wait to see how much. He has gotten great use out of all his newborn clothes and we've gone through almost all of the newborn diapers that were given to us at baby showers. I have really loved having this prolonged tiny newborn stage.</div>

At 1 week old we did a newborn photo shoot of course. I love all the pictures, but here are some of my favorites...</div>

text-align: left;">
Well, the little stinker couldn't wait 3 more weeks and surprised us at 37 weeks. Surprised is an understatement! On Thursday night, I came home at about 9:30 pm from a baby shower that my ward threw me. I went to bed around 10:30 pm, after preparing for work the next day. At about 11:30 pm, I got up to use the bathroom and my water broke!!! At first I was in denial and shock. I went into the bathroom and convinced myself that my water didn't just break. When I came out of the bathroom, I told Austin that I thought my water broke but I wasn't sure. He told me to call my mom. I called my mom around midnight and she told me to go straight to the hospital. So, with shaky hands and being scared to death, I told Austin it was time to go. We went to the hospital and they checked me in just after midnight. My contractions started and by 2:30 am I was ready for my epidural. After the epidural I was in heaven and it was smooth sailing from that point on. I rested and slept as much as I could and poor Austin tried to sleep on the pull out bed. At about 4:00 or 4:30 am the nurse came in and told me I was dialated to a 3.5. The doctor came in shortly after that and told me that he estimated I would give birth around noon, so I settled in for a long night/day ahead. Little Trevor had other plans. At around 7:30 am the nurse came in and checked me again, informing me that I was fully dialated. I asked her what that meant and she said...that means it's time to push. I just remember giggling and laughing a lot because this was my first time and it was all happening so fast. The nurses and staff were so amazing and Dr. Lamoreaux was awesome. I pushed for about 20 to 30 minutes and then little Trevor made his appearance. IT WAS AMAZING! Thanks goodness for modern medicine. Because of the epidural, I was able to enjoy the experience from beginning to end. Trevor came out crying, but they cleaned him up and placed him in my arms and I was instantly in love. I couldn't remember life without him anymore. Austin's heart melted as well and on Friday, April 6th, 2012 we both became the proud parents of Trevor Austin Lux. He weighed a tiny 4 pounds and 13 ounces and measured 17.5 inches long. He is perfect. The poor thing had low blood sugars and had to be taken to the NICU for 2 days to get them under control. It was the best feeling ever to get to take him home with us on Sunday.</div>

It's true when people tell you that you don't know what love is until you have a child. We are literally in love with this little guy. He has changed our lives for the better forever. Being a little older, we are so ready for this new life. I know that there are hard times ahead, but for now, I'm going to enjoy every last minute of this newborn stage.</div>

At 35 weeks pregnant, I decided to get maternity photos done and I am SO glad I did. It was so much fun and I love the way they all turned out. I can honestly say that I've enjoyed most of this pregnancy...most being the operative word. Around week 34 things started to get a little more miserable. I literally went from feeling great to feeling horrible over night. So, to have my hair and make-up professionaly done and get a professional photo shoot at 35 weeks when I'm feeling not-so-cute and be made to feel beautiful again was a big deal. I love all the pictures, but here are some of my favorites.</div>

It was so fun to have Austin there and I think the photographer (Julie Burton) did a great job of capturing our excitement and our tender feelings that we arlready have for our unborn child. I am so excited to meet this little guy who has made it a little more difficult for me to breathe and sleep, lol.

<br />
Can you believe I am 30 weeks along??!!! Because I sure can't. I remember being 10 weeks along and now I only have 10 weeks left until my due date....eeeekkk! The good thing is, I feel great. Other than a few aches and pains...and having to go to the bathroom literally every 5 minutes...I am really enjoying the experience. Believe me, I am so glad that I am saying that, because I always thought that I would be one of those girls who hated being pregnant. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to be pregnant forever, lol, but I can honestly say that the experience has been a good one and I truly have tried to enjoy and cherish this time. I look at it like, it took me a really long time to get pregnant and who knows if I ever will be again, so this 9 months really is a fleeting thing in the scheme of things. <br />
<br />
THE BEST THINGS:<br />
I love seeing my belly grow even though I don't feel sexy at all.<br />
Feeling him and SEEING him move around is the most amazing feeling! I think I will miss it when it's over.<br />
Getting good advice from my family and friends.<br />
Seeing my young women get excited when they see me and my belly coming.<br />
The cute comments from kids...for example: My friend Michelle's daughter who is 4 asked her out of the blue one day if she was going to marry my baby. LOL!!!! Oh how I love kids.<br />
Feeling an incredible amount of love for a baby I haven't even met yet.<br />
<br />
My friends threw me a baby shower a couple of weeks ago and it was so fun! It was really great to see friends I haven't seen in a long time come and support me. I was completely spoiled by everyone and feel much more prepared now. Thanks to all who participated!!!<br />
<br />
Austin and I know someone who does ultrasounds, so a couple of days ago we were able to go and get a 3D ultrasound of the baby. At first he wouldn't cooperate and had both of his hands over his face, but after a while he finally brought them down and we were able to get some great shots, especially of his profile. The picture below is the last and best one that we were able to get. I can't stop looking at it! I can't describe the tender sweet feeling I get when I look at the photo's. I am so overwhelmed with joy! All I want to do is hold on to these feelings as long as I can. <br />

Week 21</div>
<br />
<br />
My how time seems to have flown!! It went kind of slow at first and now the weeks seem to be flying by. I just wanted to document some of my thoughts on being pregnant. Around week 8 I started getting really sick. I had hoped that I would be one of the lucky few who got to skip that part, and thankfully it only lasted 3 weeks, but I found myself running to the bathroom and dry-heaving over the toilet more than I would have liked to. Even though I never did actually throw-up, I was very nauseated and would have to run to the bathroom just in case. And the fatigue!!! Oh man, how did I make it through the first tri-mester? Thoughts of the outcome definitely helped. I had lots of advice from family and friends to help make it through as well. Some of the best remedies were lemonade, preggie pops, staying hydrated, sprite and sleep...lots and lots of sleep. The nausea eventually went completely away after about week 13 and even though the fatigue subsided, I still feel tired most of the time. I am told that growing a baby is hard work, like climbing a mountain every day. I certainly feel like I've climbed a mountain every day. Here are some ups and downs over the last few weeks:<br />
<br />
My body: Well, my body is definitely changing. My belly is getting bigger, my boobs are huge, my hips are wider and my butt and thighs seem to have grown as well (boooo). I work-out here and there but definitely not as much as I thought I would. I come home from work exhausted and just sleep sleep sleep all day. Despite all of that, I have managed to only gain about 9 pounds so far. So, I feel pretty good about that...even though I know it's partly because I've lost muscle (which is heavy) and replaced that with fat. Oh well, still feels good to say that I've only gained 9 pounds!!!! I'm loving that I have a little bump now and look pregnant, as opposed to just looking fat.<br />
<br />
The baby: I have several ultra-sound pictures to post as soon as I get around to scanning them in. It is awesome to see him...yes I said HIM...go from looking like just a tiny blur to looking like a real baby. We went in at 15 weeks and 3 days and had the gender determination done at which time we also got to see some really good pictures of his spine and full body shots. At 21 weeks, we went for the big ultrasound with my doctor. He showed us all the different parts of the baby, including the brain, all 4 chambers of the heart, diaphram, face, arms/hands, legs/feet and boy parts. It was AWESOME! He also reassured us that there are no signs of cleft palate or spina bifida...fwhew! At around week 19 I started feeling him move around and that has been the BEST feeling ever.<br />
<br />
Austin: He has been amazing, truly amazing. He has to deal with my bigger than usual mood swings and he is always able to pull a smile and a laugh out of me. He has been great throughout, dealing with my fatigue. I will literally come home from work sometimes and lay down on the couch or bed and not get back up. He gets me to come on walks with him and our dog often which is good for me, baby and our relationship. Sometimes I feel myself getting a little emotional that he takes such good care of me and I know that he will be such a good father. I am so happy I could just die sometimes.<br />
<br />
My favorite things about being pregnant: Feeling the baby move, thinking about when I get to meet him, people being a little nicer and more caring to me, and preparing the house.<br />
<br />
Things I could do without: THE FATIGUE, lol. The fatigue has definitely been the worst part, but everyday I'm just plugging away. The other major thing I could do without is people's unwanted negative comments and advice. If I hear "just wait" one more time, I might kill that person. Just let me be happy and excited right now, in the moment. I KNOW that my life is going to change and it is going to be hard, but guess what...I WANT THIS BABY. I want a family and I'm not delusional to the fact that it is going to be hard work. So, keep the negativity to yourselves!!<br />
<br />
I never thought I could love something so much before I even get to see it, but I do. What a miracle this has all been and each day that goes by it gets more real. Part of me can't wait and the other part wants it to drag out. I look forward to the next 4 months and what they can bring. <br />

<br />
After trying for about 4 1/2 years and being told we have a 2% chance of getting pregnant on our own, we beat the odds!!!!<br />
<br />
<div align="center">
THE STORY</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Most of you know our struggles to get pregnant. After trying for a couple of years, we finally went to a fertility clinic and tried a few tx's there. After those failed, I ended up getting pregnant on my own, only to miscarry at 5 weeks. The whole experience was so heartbreaking and debilitating that I finally gave up trying about a year and a half ago and decided to just live my life and whatever happens...happens. I had a FABULOUS year last year. It is amazing what can happen when you just put your trust in the Lord and let go. I ran my first marathon, went on countless boating trips, got to know new people, did a couple of things that I've always wanted to do, traveled a little, GOT A PROMOTION (woo hoo), and many other happy things that I can't think of at this very moment. All in all, I've just been really happy and content. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Around my 34th birthday...about a week prior to be exact, I started thinking hard about trying to get pregnant again (not that we ever really stopped trying). I wasn't sure I would ever want to step foot in a fertility clinic again, but I finally made up my mind that I would do whatever it took. I decided to try everything that was available to me, so that one day I could look back with no regrets that I didn't try every avenue. I was referred to a fairly new fertility clinic in Pleasant Grove and a highly recommended fertility doctor (Dr. Foulk). I scheduled a consultation and they couldn't get me in till mid August because they were so booked out. When we finally did get to meet Dr. Foulk, we had a great consult and we both left there feeling like he would be the one to help us. He was very aggressive in his plan and we were already scheduled to do IUI in approximately 3 weeks (which would have been Labor Day weekend). I felt very happy and satisfied that we were on our way.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Needless to say, my monthly friend was late and I ended up taking a pregnancy test that I just happened to have left over from forever ago. I can't even describe the feeling when I watched those 2 lines pop up with no doubts that I was pregnant. I shared the news with Austin and we were both so excited and relieved. WHAT A BLESSING! I told my family the next day when we were all together for Sunday dinner. I love my family so much, I couldn't ask for anything more. They are so supportive and loving and I couldn't have gotten through it all without them. I am so excited to have their support and advice in the coming months. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Later that week (5 weeks along) I called a high risk pregnancy doctor who scheduled some blood work right away. The first test results showed that my progesterone levels were low, so they started me on a supplement right away. The second results showed that my HCG levels were doubling and everything was looking normal!!!! They scheduled me for an early ultrasound at 7 weeks and it felt like an eternity waiting for that time to go by. When we finally got to go in...once again, the feeling was indescribable. I didn't realize we would get to hear the heartbeat, but when she turned the sound on and we heard that little heart beating so fast, I began to cry for the miracle of it all. What a wonderful sound and feeling. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'm now 7 weeks and feeling great. There are days, like today, that I don't physically feel very good, but I can't help but smile through it and feel excited regardless. I sleep A LOT and have even had some crazy cravings already. The 5th week, it was all about fresh foods...fresh fruits, fresh vegetables...the fresher the better. Then, it changed to salt and vinegar. I don't think I've eaten a pickle since I was a kid, but I downed about 5 of them and ate almost an entire bag of salt and vinegar potato chips. Now, I can't even look at those things. My craving this week has been hamburgers. Every day I have to eat a hamburger. What a strange thing this is, I LOVE IT!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Well, that's my story up until now. I will probably be updating often as I want to document all the things and feelings that come up. I love you all, thanks for being there for me!</div>

I ran my first full marathon in Las Vegas, NV on Sunday, December 5th 2010 in approximately 4 hours and 28 minutes. I was told this one might be a difficult one for a beginner but it seemed only appropriate since it's the one my dad and I were training for so many years ago. And it was hard, but I wouldn't have had it any other way.<br />The marathon itself lived up to every expectation I might have ever had about a marathon. It was exciting, exhilarating, inspirational, fun...and it was also the exact opposite of all those things. It was exhausting, long, strenuous, brutal, down right miserable at times and also painful...mentally, physically and emotionally painful. I finished it feeling satisfied and fulfilled. I am so very grateful that I took the time to train and prepare for the entire 18 weeks, and I was not left wanting at the end. I have never been so happy to be done with something and so happy that I did it at the same time.<br />There was no better feeling than to run down to the finish line and see my mom, dad, husband Austin, Amanda, Gina and her friend Nicole there cheering me on. It made it all worth it when my dad gave me an embrace that no one could ever put a price on. Words cannot describe what I felt and how I still feel.<br />There were 30,000 runners. It was an incredible sight. I remember when the 1/2 marathoners split off from us and were almost done...it was sooooo tempting just to hop over to their side and just be finished, ha ha ha. I'm so glad I stuck with it, even if half the marathon was up hill!! The first half of the marathon was on the strip where I ran alongside the likes of hundreds of Elvis's, santa clauses, one Axel Rose and many others dressed up in fun outfits. There was live music and high school cheerleaders playing alongside the entire marathon. I am eternally grateful to all the volunteers and spectators who handed out energy gu, drinks, water and encouragement the entire way. I have no idea what might have been registering on my face those last 3 miles, but everyone made a point of looking right at me and telling me to keep going.<br />I was emotional at the end and I'm emotional now just writing about it. Like I said before, words can't begin to describe the array of emotions that I felt the entire way through and at the end. I really feel like I accomplished something for me and my dad. I'm so glad he was there and got to see it. It's incredible what we can accomplish if we set our minds to it, make a plan and take the time to prepare.<br />Thanks again to my family who could be there and the love and support from those who had to stay home.

I figured out when I was a kid how to manipulate the system and make sure I got the most out of my birthday. I used my birthday as an excuse all week long to get out of chores, get extra attention, treats, presents and money...30 years later and not much has changed.<br />Austin was out of town for my birthday week so I thought it might be somewhat uneventful this year...I was wrong, thank goodness. It started Monday when the cutest family down the street invited me over to have family night with them. Austin was gone so I figured it would be a good way to spend my evening. When I walked in to the house, Melanie (the mom) led me into their kitchen where they had decorated for me and the whole family sang happy birthday. I felt like a princess when they handed me a crown and a head band that read "It's your birthday". We had a great message, played games and ate the yummiest birthday cake. Thank you Lundbergs for giving me a great kick-off to my birthday week!! Love you guys! Then on Tuesday I went boating with my friends Tony and Sara...what better way to spend a day of my birthday week? It was awesome! On Wednesday (my actual birthday) I got spoiled by my co-workers and my two sisters showed up at work with my nieces and nephew, some flowers and gift cards. I got a little emotional at that. The kids were so dang cute and I love my sisters so much...that night we all had dinner at Gina's house. On Thursday, my besties Michelle and Cassie took me out to eat at Cafe Rio and gave me a gift card to Forever 21, holla!!! Then on Friday, Austin came home...no better way to end my birthday week. We went to Tucano's and pigged out because there is no other way to eat at Tucano's. All in all, it was very memorable. Thank you to everyone for the birthday wishes, thoughts, treats, gifts and loves!<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNzyJrh7ektVmLglWXWz3brnqG-LV9W1bEsCRHoXj8XvJ8FM4fW1ZQb6DFX7cLwQd7igCBPoo76yLI2hOgDtEC_DO0FvcnxYL6_gpSFUjjwfI_UKgAMqjuoBi0LubwTE9O1iZlwjnrIiE/s1600/Last+Import+-+1.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNzyJrh7ektVmLglWXWz3brnqG-LV9W1bEsCRHoXj8XvJ8FM4fW1ZQb6DFX7cLwQd7igCBPoo76yLI2hOgDtEC_DO0FvcnxYL6_gpSFUjjwfI_UKgAMqjuoBi0LubwTE9O1iZlwjnrIiE/s400/Last+Import+-+1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506585358865698610" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8gucC33SFiZv2a-MEsPOSmoC08kT0TobiB9sSYEf8nf0eBxczfTvjAWc6tDX0cEbNR2yZwwpMuWncXaLalqocRgmTW8ddvp4YCdK5OYuwnm_rVnedemH1-q8mMU_ooW7LUJLlTGTVdBQ/s1600/Last+Import+-+2.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8gucC33SFiZv2a-MEsPOSmoC08kT0TobiB9sSYEf8nf0eBxczfTvjAWc6tDX0cEbNR2yZwwpMuWncXaLalqocRgmTW8ddvp4YCdK5OYuwnm_rVnedemH1-q8mMU_ooW7LUJLlTGTVdBQ/s400/Last+Import+-+2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506581422069909554" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivbyvJ_3F6IpYh48PnUwCteofBfQ5FqWsmhz7nMR6-gas88txADqWA_kC6CwCkuoJAguPv0z7DGst7F5iFCdmOKkMyep0JecYi03PNnp_hXpv9Svsj-dmlwW0ybi7lki9OfhYMnfgHMRk/s1600/Last+Import+-+5.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivbyvJ_3F6IpYh48PnUwCteofBfQ5FqWsmhz7nMR6-gas88txADqWA_kC6CwCkuoJAguPv0z7DGst7F5iFCdmOKkMyep0JecYi03PNnp_hXpv9Svsj-dmlwW0ybi7lki9OfhYMnfgHMRk/s400/Last+Import+-+5.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506581180392609122" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdWMRIpLs54lo5u1oW3cF55qs057-YXvPPSWBlEWmezxMzD7_5KqyVDbXPUltQzm0EUZYkbwTJIu5zONngxKTV8h6H6N09EoBX1yMtOA_4YImxB9VAoY_WUv680PF6eF7wRYA2ys8wRwE/s1600/Last+Import+-+6.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdWMRIpLs54lo5u1oW3cF55qs057-YXvPPSWBlEWmezxMzD7_5KqyVDbXPUltQzm0EUZYkbwTJIu5zONngxKTV8h6H6N09EoBX1yMtOA_4YImxB9VAoY_WUv680PF6eF7wRYA2ys8wRwE/s400/Last+Import+-+6.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506581009290749122" border="0" /></a>DLUXhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04643576415429640628noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569656494711737294.post-26093005945778669662010-07-09T19:07:00.001-07:002010-07-09T19:31:45.507-07:004th of July at StarvationWe headed to Starvation Reservoir for the long 4th of July weekend with all our besties!! It was windy but sunny the first day, so once again we surfed a lot!! We are becoming pro's on the surfboard and we all tried to land 360's. I am confident we will all be doing 360's on the surfboard by the end of summer...Austin got it on the last day there!!! Woo hoo! I hate him, he's good at everything, haha! Love him ;) We were on the water as much as possible the first day and surfed well after dark...definitely top 5 surfing trips for sure!

We did it again!<div style="text-align: justify;">We rented a theater again for the 3rd Twilight movie "Eclipse". But, not just any regular private showing, we had the opportunity to host a pre-screen of the movie. It was awesome!!!! We were one of a handful of private screenings that were able to see the movie a whole day early. We were the envy of everyone and of course filled the theater with all our friends. We gave out tons of prizes and really had a great time, as always. The movie was by far the best one yet in the series and the whole experience rocked! My policy lately is...if you're going to do something, do it right and experience all that life has to offer. My sister Gina, my mom and I all worked so hard and I feel like we really pulled off an amazing event. Gina and her friends made eclipse sugar cookies for everyone in the whole theater and Gina and my mom put together a fabulous after party. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjod6ABQcf5ykz0tgzWPLncQ50gQ7Gdj13Wo-2PmwYMYOjDguHQJ9ps0nPlURFbbliNKGSku1_JEiGVRxXNQ990WAX7JStAAbe_YAD3DjR4rz-xZSxnHg5DWZK2PWLKJGeNblfgiSL5kZU/s1600/P6190032.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjod6ABQcf5ykz0tgzWPLncQ50gQ7Gdj13Wo-2PmwYMYOjDguHQJ9ps0nPlURFbbliNKGSku1_JEiGVRxXNQ990WAX7JStAAbe_YAD3DjR4rz-xZSxnHg5DWZK2PWLKJGeNblfgiSL5kZU/s400/P6190032.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492090707228188306" border="0" /></a>The marquee in front of our theater read: Welcome guests of Rachel Lux.
